Hey Alg I have spent a pretty decent amount of time pking as a pure, both in f2p and p2p, and I think at the very least armor should include an hp boost. A couple weeks ago i was running around with my 72 cb pure and quickly noticed that anyone with rune armor at my cb lvl was immediately rushed and easily killed by a quick d-claw spec. 40def + rune armor barely makes a dint in the advantage of 60+ atk and weapons of dragon status or higher. Moreover, the defense bonuses of a low lvl player with some defense in no way makes up for the distinct lack of constitution. My friend is cb 74 and just got 99 range with 88 constitution. In comparison most 74 cb's with 40 defense have closer to 60-70 hp. I don't feel that i have the experience to speak on the issue of monster hunting, but I definitely think that lifepoint boosting armor would be a huge step in the right direction to improving the pvp combat situation.
